Can You Learn a Language While You Sleep?
Being able to learn a language while you sleep seems like the ultimate shortcut-but is it too good to be true? In this video we'll look at the hard facts regarding languages and sleep-learning, as well as check out the scientific studies usually presented as proof that it is effective.

I don't know if this channel is still alive, but you should definitely make videos on Icelandic and Faroese next, so you can finish off the rest of the North Germanic languages. Icelandic is one of my favorite languages of all time, so I'll be patiently waiting :)

I don't know if this channel is dead but it is my favorite channel so far! The way you teach things with colorful texts and correct pronounciations is so beautiful I hope you can continue your videos and make language introduction videos about other languages my recommendations are Greenlandic, Japanese, Korean, Turkish, Tungusic languages ect.
I was literally just thinking about this earlier today, and came to the same conclusions, just without the studies. I knew sleep helps you retain information, but there’s no way for you to get new information while fully unconscious. I was not aware of the tmr studies, but that still only affects retention rather than gaining new knowledge. I saw in my recommended a “learn Japanese while you sleep!” just now and thought to go and look up the validity. Thanks for the confirmation!
I know this video is a year old but this is seriously one of the best channels I’ve had the pleasure of stumbling across.

Glad to see you’re back! I nostalgically watched the pitch-accent video yesterday. Whenever I meet a Swedish person, I say “anden” (the duck) and “anden” (the spirit).
Before watching this, I never even heard about this.

Hello there Academia Cervena! I recently got your videos on Swedish pitch accents on my recommended, and found them interesting! I live in the region of Östergötland, in Sweden, and I was wondering if you could do a video on östgötska, the dialect spoken in Östergötland?
This has enlightened me Thank you
Me who listens to music while falling asleep: Does this mean that I'm making my self stupider?
I appreciate the dose of reality friend. I was only looking into this because i hoped for an effect that was something like the +10% of extra retained information. But after watching this i'd rather not take the chance, tinkering with my psyche like that. Thanks for the elaborate break down.
Nice video, as always :)
Pls do more videos!!! I LOVE your content
Your voice relaxes me
may this channel to never be forgot
0:48 When you said this I felt my soul wither away like a crumpled up sandwich wrapper. The fact that this needs a serious answer is depressing beyond words.

Jag gillar verkligen din kanal. Det finns många utbildningskanaler på KZread, men din är unik i fråga om utförande och presentation. Många kanaler har bakgrundsmusik och en berättare som ofta känns överentusiastisk, men du klarar dig utan det där i och med att du når en balans av att ha en lugn och jordnära stil samtidigt som du är engagerad. Riktigt trevligt.

I put this to the test I agree however if you listen a few hours before sleep while relaxing you will learn alto enough to help you acquire everything more easier in the long run but, you can't fall asleep doing this you listen to relax then turn it of and you will be amazed what you learn but, review when your alert to get a better long term retention
I love your vids so much i met my wife trow one of your videos pls come back soon and if you do just rember there is still a adianse we love you. Love from canade

Oh no!
My opinion on this whole idea is it’s just completely pointless. Me being a language enthusiast and having a lot of common sense, I knew that learning a language while you sleep is not really possible. The first time I heard of this idea, I was like, learn while you sleep? That’s impossible. I feel like the people who actually do it don’t know the science behind it, or they do know but they just don’t care, all they care about is being popular and getting views
